Control Arms on Ebay?
 

So I'm shopping for new control arms online right now and ebay has a few good ones perticularlly these.

The first link is for one while the second is for a pair. Any thoughts? From what I've been reading there parts are junk and I should just bite the bullet and buy OEM.

I was going to go Urethane but waiting to hear back on stock for them.


Oh ya and also not sure if these will work for a Litronic car since I don't know what the deal is with the sensor on the control arm???

I would never buy anything from Deutsche Parts USA again. Do a search on the forum and you'll see lots of similar feedback on how horrible they are.

I ditto the idea of avoiding Deutsche Parts USA. Their stuff wears out far faster than factory parts, and boy howdy that's saying a LOT.

Vertex auto sells good remanufactured control arms (polyvinyl/polyurethene inserts) worth purchasing and they're good about customer service in my experience. Check them out.

So Design 911 UK sales has the powerflex bushings in stock. Comes packaged with the contoll arm to body bushing as well so I can change them both while the arm is out. I'm thinking maybe it's a good idea to do the track arm bushings at the same time? My thinking is if the lower bushing is toast the upper prolly isn't far away. I have a hydraulic press at my shop so pressing the bushings in and out isn't an issue, anyone ever buy from them with good success? They estimated 7 days for shipping to Vancouver sounds about right to me?

Matt F,
I bought a pair of drop links from Design911 a few months back and was pleased with their service and the drop links themselves. My shipping was 18 pounds and I got them the next day via FedEx. I thought it would have taken at least several days.
I also got burned by DoucheParts USA- twice.
